Many of the 1851 Census records of Manchester and Salford got damaged. A part is now transcribed, but, but a lot is missing, too badly damaged. When you scroll through those districts you can see what the pages look like.
Could you find geandparents, aunts, uncles?

Hi Jack - I have a William Moister born before 1773 who married an Ann ______. My info is very sketchy but I show them with one son, John, who was bapt 12 Oct 1788. John married a Jane _______. They had a son, another William, born about 1814. This William, according to my info, married a Margaret Shaw in 1838. They had 11 children between 1840 and 1860. None is shown as 'Betty', although there is an 'Elizabeth', a name that can carry a nick-name of 'Betty'. Elizabeth was born abt 1845 in Scarisbrick.
Hope I haven't confused the issue too much!

I am looking for my 4X great grandfather, John Proctor. I know he married a woman named Anne (maiden name unknown) and had a son, Joshua (1829 - 1888 in Stalybridge.) His son Joshua married Nancy Robinson Oct 7, 1850 in Ashton Under Lyne and resided in Dukinfield in the 1851 census. I do not know the date of John's marriage.
I would love to identify John Proctor's date of death and the names of his parents, children other than Joshua, as well as his wife Anne's maiden name. If anyone with such information would be willing to pass it on, I would be grateful!

Hello Sally,
Thank you for your reply - and to everyone else who replied.
As I mentioned in my initial message, some of the information is
'believed' and I'm attempting to confirm or deny what is currently
sitting in the database (Kith and Kin).
It may well be that we do chuck our hats in the air, we'll see!
Kind regards
/Peter Rawbone/

I have a Fanny Speak Gent in my tree who had a brother, James Speak born in Blackrod about 1845-7. I don't know about any other name (Hargreaves). James emmigrated to the US in the 1870's and can be found on the 1881 US Census living near his sister in Pennsylvania. He later lived in Ohio. This James was married to Ann and had one daughter. I think his father was Samuel.

Dear Folks Recently I wrote the list to ask for the e-mail address of the above church. I used the address Sally Roberts gave me. I wrote several e-mails but I have no record on my computer of them being sent. Could anyone advise me why? Thanks again

Yes that did make me think but there is no other jewish reference at all in the family records so maybe it was just they liked the name or its a misspell.

Hello John, I am glad to hear from you. Chasing the Hargreaves line is very difficult and several people that I know of have given up. To make it even more confusing, changing the name to Speak, or in my case, Openshaw.
I have a huge family tree that a kind person in England sent to me...as well as my own.
I will send you my own, but I would rather do it through private email. My email is: mmcapezza(a)lighttube.net
I am in the states. Where are you?
